Partner Chris Clark Obtains Lowered Bond in High-Profile Murder Case

Posted By
Patton & Pittman

Chris Clark, a partner at Patton & Pittman, successfully argued for
a substantial bond reduction in one of Clarksville’s most high-profile
murder cases last week. Clark represents a mother who has been charged,
along with her husband, with the murder of her young child. During Clark’s
cross-examination, the lead detective admitted to the court while under
oath that she did not believe that the mother had caused the injuries
that lead to the child’s death. She further testified that there
were no witnesses or direct proof that the mother had caused any of the
unfortunate injuries. The court immediately lowered the quarter-of-a-million
dollar bond to $25,000.
